"The Umpire said something" is just another version of "The dog ate my homework", the only difference being too many people have been bullied into accepting that nonsense. The Schools, the Leagues, appropriate Authorities are so buried under the weight of "Political Correctness" they're frozen into fear of taking PROPER action, which only serves to embolden, encourage and generate MORE bad behavior.
These two THUGS should have been arrested ON THE FIELD & LED OFF IN HANDCUFFS. Unfortunately, like way too many others, these two apparently, have learned and believe, they are somehow empowered to do what ever THEY decide needs to be done, for whatever reason THEY choose...and nobody will stand up and correct them. In so many ways, "We reap what we sow" and then have to deal with the results of the harvest.
We're still hearing about an "Alter Boy" in Ferguson, who in reality was proven simply to be a THUG, bullying a much smaller merchant to TAKE what he wanted, without apparent concern or regret, and then tried to IMPOSE his will on, and bully a Police Officer and TAKE his weapon. THANKFULLY, he bit off a lot more than he could chew, and sadly learning a BASIC lesson, we all need to learn and accept sooner or later, that cost HIM wasting HIS life.
THUGGERY has nothing to do with color, it's all about chosen BEHAVIOR, and comes in all colors and flavors. Man has been taught for eons that allowing it, appeasing it, excusing it, tolerating it, ignoring it or turning a blind eye towards it, in hopes it would self correct, has NEVER worked to eliminate or even discourage it. About some things we're painfully slow learners, and have have to be taught the same harsh lesson, over and over again.
